Abstract
Reaction of a labile tungsten nitrile complex, [(Cp*)W(CO)2(NCMe)Me] (Cp*=η5-C5Me5), with H3SiC(SiMe3)3 gave the hydrido(hydrosilylene) complex [(Cp*)(CO)2(H)WSi(H){C(SiMe3)3}] ( ). The hydrido(silylene) complex [(η5-C5Me4Et)(CO)2(H)WSiMes2] ( ) (Mes=2,4,6-Me-C6H2) was synthesized by a similar reaction with H2SiMes2. There is a strong interligand interaction between the hydrido and silylene ligands of these complexes; this was confirmed by a neutron diffraction study of [D2] , that is, the deuterido and η5-C5Me4Et derivative of . The exchange between the WH and the SiD groups was observed in the deuterido complex [D] . This H/D exchange proceeded slowly at room temperature, but very rapidly under UV irradiation. Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy measurements show the dynamic behavior of carbonyl ligands in . Complex reacted with acetone at room temperature to give mainly a hydrosilylation product, [(Cp*)(CO)2(H)WSi(OiPr){C(SiMe3)3}] ( ), along with a siloxy complex, [(Cp*)(CO)2WO(Si(H)iPr{C(SiMe3)3})] ( ). At low temperature, a different reaction, namely, α-H abstraction, proceeded to give an equilibrium mixture of and a dihydrido(silyl) complex, [(Cp*)(CO)2(H)2W(Si(H){OC(CH2)Me}{C(SiMe3)3})] ( ).Keywords
